That was a very convincing demonstration of the structural integrity of your creation. I can appreciate a person who trusts their handiwork. Excellent build
Damn perfect job. Lots and lots of work. I feel bad for all the downvotes on this video from people who mightve thought that the clay stayed or didn't watch the video all the way through.
Stigz is simply amazing and inspiring. He does super amazing work. If I had the money, my first car in his hands would be my 88 Mazda MX-6. For now, I will just continue to absord his knowledge and wisdom.
Can you make a follow up video after paint ? I would love to see the finished product , and you should make some forms so you can duplicate . People would definitely buy your kit if it was available . Great work as per usual !
I agree forms would have been a good idea not just for other people but for yourself. When the guy drifts in to a wall or somthing and destroys his custom work.lol this way you dony have to go through all that to make him new ones.
Was thinking 'wow, a 1000 HP, wide body pick up truck', then I see a Silvia. Still cool, just not what I was expecting. Congrats on your ride, enjoy the hell out of it.
Now THIS, THIS is a real WIDEBODY. Not just fender flares pretending to be a wide body. Excellent, excellent work sir! I really would love to do something like this but man the sheer amount of time would be my only issue. Very inspiring sir!
Not a bad end result but you certainly made a lot more work for yourself than needed. You had a nice smooth surface to lay glass down and then stuffed it laying cling wrap and foil creating wrinkles everywhere when you should have used a release agent then gel coated then layed the glass. Then pulled it off and used it as a mould to make a flawless copy that would have required next to no filler work at all. Time= money. You also added much more weight using so much filler making that 1000hp engine now work much harder to move more weight!
great and informative video like always Russell! also I'm planning on finishing my fenders (the gills on the mercedes if you remeber) this summer! so I'll definetly link you to the finished product once I do. and I'm doing some welding as opposed to clay and fiber glassIng due to time constraints for some parts.
I really thought you were going to use them as a buck/mould for laying the actual fenders. Wouldn't have been that much more work and you would've had a quick way to reproduce one in the event of a crash. Great work either way. Looks awesome, and tasteful lines. Certainly a professional job no matter how you slice it.
there is a metal and body man in bristol england who does wide body mods and rally arches, but metal sometimes aluminium and sometimes he just seems to slice cuts in the rear quarters, pulls out the metal to where he wants the arches and tigs pieces of new metal in, a real artist just like this bloke. only i suppose doing it in metal is more permanent, but very similar end results.
meus parabéns otimo trabalho excelente acabamento mas vou te falar so de ver o trabalho que da fique cansado!!! imagina vc que fez isso no Brasil nunca ouvi nem dizer muito Bom !!!
Hi really love all your works!! Really amazing!! Thank you for the great videos. I have a question. How many pounds of potting clay did you use to model a back bumper?
really nice work,and again awsome videos!.. wish the owner would have choosen a different rear bumper(drift bumper no no) to something more aggresive and to match up with that sick widebody you made!
